Tuff Lite 2.5" AUS8A Sheepsfoot Razor-Sharp Plain Blade 3.5" Griv-Ex Handle Pocket Folding Knife

Absolute work horse! So easy to carry, excellent value and this strong little knife is extremely capable!very durable, nice opening/closing blade. Very sharp, it will cut!

This knife is solid, no loose pins anywhere. The Sheepsfoot blade was super sharp out of the box, and after heavy use the Aus8 steel easily sharpens to a great edge. For a work knife from the Farm to performing Electricians duties, this is perfect. Has the Left/Right pocket clip, and sits deep in the pocket. Very happy with the brown color, scale design, and how smooth it opens one handed. It's built like a tank, so putting torque on the blade for a deep cut is not a problem. Definitely super happy with this purchase.

Nice inexpensive small knife. Well designed blade choll allows for a four finger grip on such a small knife. Wharncliffe style blade is perfect for opening Amazon boxes. Opening effort is too high to allow flicking unless you are super strong.

This is very solid little piece. Well made and the lock is nicely overkilled. The big sheepsfoot works well for those jobs where a utility knife maybe works, or is just too bendy or small. Sharp. Fab for hand work, like construction or arts n crafts. I used it to cut window film and to score metal siding to mark for the saw. The price reflects the difference between cheapness and expense. Thirty bones is not cheap, but affordable assuming you get some use out of it. I’m down with it. Totally. Better steel would be nice, but the cost wouldn’t work then. Still not bad. The bad- yes, it has 2 flaws- the action is not easy without a flipper, and a flipper is nice for workers, not just gamers sitting at their playstation who like to fidget. With gloves, a flipper can’t be beat. Not a dealbreaker. Another gripe is the lanyard attachment is at the wrong end. This is a big “DUH”. An obviously untested design. The lanyard must be on the same end as the clip. Period. Again, (sigh) a lanyard is for workers, not just people who want to have a pretty tassel hanging on their rarely needed toy. One can grab it with gloves and extract the piece in bad weather without any wet gloved fingers needing to be stuck into a tight pocket when it is partially covered with garments and in a bad position. Hello? Does anyone WORK anymore? Yes, they sure do! I digress, sorry. I still dig this little gem. Buy one for your collection or to wear out.

Smaller than expected. But Taiwan made. Lockback. Tapered blade edge. Sharp. Good for cutting boxes and other things. Easy to carry. Pocket or clip. Not too expensive. I have small hands. Video shows size of knife relative to my hands. If you had big hands, this knife might be hard to use.

Extremely sharp out of the box. Solid build. Comfortable in my hand. Performs as advertised. Great price. If needed, I would purchase again without hesitation.

Actually: I should say, "Great knife! Exclamation point!" I almost said, "Excellent LITTLE knife", or "GREAT DEAL!" But both of those make it sound like this knife is a compromise. It is not. This is a legitimate EDC. I have pretty big hands, and the finger indents make this knife fit comfortably in my hand. The blade is small-ish, but come on, how much blade length do you really need and use? I love that it comes in a red handle, because I'm a tree guy. So if I drop this knife in the grass/dirt/mulch, I can find it! (I hate black/green/brown handles.) Easy to open with one hand. So well-designed that it is ALSO easy to CLOSE with one hand! Hard to explain, but the finger cut-out is positioned perfectly to protect you from getting cut while closing the knife!! Compact. Incredible price. Buy one. You'll love it. Buy two, and give one away!

Toughest knife out of a 2 dozen collection. This tough lite by Cold Steel is the best built knife of the whole collection including Bucks, Kershaws and Gerbers. Excellent quality control. All screws were snug. Clip is very stout. You won't loose it out of your pocket if you use the clip. No blade play. Blade is a bit stiff but that is a plus because the tuff lite is a utility knife, not a figit or fast deploy. The triad lock is stronger than the back lock, frame lock or button lock. It is stiff to operate but that just speaks to its exceeding strength. This Cold Steel tuff light is my favorite of 24 other excellent knives and I hartily recommend it for use in challenging conditions.
